Creativity is eternal and shouldn't be confused with creation. It does not improve with practice. Nothing about it can be owned, claimed, or held. What is genuinely creative moves when the artist is quiet or absent. When he loosens his grip, the work arrives of its own accord, as if from depths which surpass authorship. The artist does not necessarily create in any fundamental sense; his work is not evidence of specialness. Furthermore, he is created by the work. Creation seems to be a mere movement that uses people without sanctifying them.
